It seemed the taste was not so sweet.

The tabloids were exploding with surprise.
Pia had slapped a stack of magazines and printed out articles from online in front of Finn the day after he and Millie went out for coffee.
"Millie Bobby Bad?" Finn said making a face, "Do they even try to be creative with these things anymore?"
Pia shrugged, "Either way, the plan is already working and it's been like, two days."
Finn nodded. He was still a little upset over the fact that he wasn't able to talk to Millie about the contract or anything yet. The morning they went for coffee was too risky to talk about it. Paparazzi were everywhere, and they didn't want anyone eavesdropping in on their conversation. Instead they talked about normal things like his music and her acting.
He hadn't really been on social media much since the party either. He knew people saw his snapchat with Millie and he couldn't imagine what kind of reaction that had caused. Finn was never one for reading comments or articles on himself anyway, he felt that it was just a bit narcissistic.
"Millie is coming over in about an hour. She's most likely going to be here for a little to take some pictures or something. Her publicist wasn't clear exactly but she shouldn't be here long," Mark said.
Finn got up quick, "and you didn't think you should have told me this sooner? Look at this place!"
Pia looked around at the mess Finn was gesturing to. She raised an eyebrow, "I told you to clean your apartment."
Finn groaned and started to pick up the trash that was on the coffee table. He rushed into the kitchen and started to wash the dishes in the sink, Pia and Mark watching in amusement.
"Why don't you just get someone to clean your house for you?" Mark asked.
"You know I hate that kind of stuff. I'm perfectly capable of doing things on my own," Finn said matter-of-factly.
Pia got up and walked over to stand at the counter and watch him, "how humble of you."
"You never told us how the party was, by the way," Mark said sitting at the kitchen table.
Finn continued to wash dishes, "She was honestly the sweetest celebrity I've met. She was nice and really easy to be around. You know, I was kind of worried about this whole thing but I think it's going to be easy."
Mark looked to Pia and raised his eyebrows, "Smiling when you talk about her...you do know there's no cameras in here right?"
Finn gave him a look, "Whatever."
"I'm just saying, maybe you have a little crush already?" Mark put his hands up in surrender.
Finn scoffed, "What am I, twelve? I don't have anything towards Millie and if I did then I'd suppress it because this is all business."
Pia spoke up next, "Why are you so defensive?"
"Why are you so annoying?" Finn shot back.
Pia raised her eyebrows and Finn sighed, "Sorry, uncalled for."
She nodded and pushed off of the counter, "Well seeing that you already like Millie, I'm sure you'll be fine on your own. Let's go Mark."
Mark got up and followed Pia to the door. They looked back at Finn who was frantically washing dishes and they gave each other a look.
